  • I don't know why my head is always stuck in the past
    I don't know why I think nothing will last
    I don't know why some hearts seem to be made out of glass
    Some people shatter
    Their pieces scatter

    But something in the way you talk is making me laugh
    Something in the matter of your fact
    And slowly don't it seem like we're just running a track
    A needle skipping, record repeating

    And we shine on,
    Till the Break of Dawn
    We Shine On
    On and On and On and On

    All around the world they keep on dealing in shame
    The news anchor repeats it everyday
    I get the strangest feeling it's just easier this way
    We infinitely, repeat the same thing

    Cause nothing in this world will ever come back the same
    But nothing in this world will ever change
    Everyone is dreaming of some half second fame
    A bit of history, always repeating

    And we shine on,
    Till the Break of Dawn
    We Shine On
    On and On and On and On

    I don't know why my head is always stuck in the past
    I don't know why I think nothing will last
    I don't know why some hearts seem to be made out of glass
    Some people shatter

    Nothing in this world will ever come back the same
    Nothing in this world will ever change
    Nothing in this world will ever seem to me strange
    We're just endlessly record repeating

    And we shine on,
    Till the Break of Dawn
    We Shine On
    On and On and On and On Writer/s: Eon Sinclair, Jay Malinowski
